For those of you who were able to register for the New Xbox Experience preview before it closed, circle this Wednesday, October 29th on your daily planner, because that's when NXE preview notifications will be sent out.
On his latest podcast, Major Nelson confirmed that emails will be sent out this Wednesday to those who were chosen to participate in the NXE preview. Because - as you should know by now - those who signed up for the NXE preview are not guaranteed entry. Only a few thousand will be chosen. Also note that this Wednesday's NXE emails will only notify those who are accepted into the preview program and will not be the official start of the preview. Downloading the NXE will come at a later, yet to be determined date that will be before November 19th.

@11...uh no they don't I have gold and don't use a credit card. I use the prepaid cards to get my gold account. Especially since they are cheaper to get when they are on sale.

"Wednesday's NXE emails will only notify those who are accepted into the preview program and will not be the official start of the preview."
If I'm reading this right it says that the email is only telling us that we are part of the preview on Wednesday and that the actual preview starts sometime later?????

Got my survey completed, can't wait til Wednesday to find out if I'm in. It would be great to get that and get GoW2 and install it.
Someone was asking if NetFlix is functional in the early NXE. According to the MN podcast, yes. e has apparently been watching SeaQuest DSV on it and it is the version that you will get if accepted and the Nov 19th release.
I got Netflix set up this past weekend primarily because of the NXE.
